para-Cresyl Phenyl Acetate Aroma Chemical
CAS# 101-94-0

Para-Cresyl Phenyl Acetate is an aromatic ingredient with a deep, dense white-floral character, marked by peony–ylang–jasmine nuances and a soft powdery touch. It carries a refined phenolic, slightly animalic facet that enriches the floral body rather than dominating it. The first impression is intensely floral, honeyed, slightly creamy-sweet, evoking armfuls of white blossoms in a warm, saturated atmosphere.

In compositions, para-Cresyl Phenyl Acetate is especially useful for building classic white-floral themes (tuberose, ylang, jasmine, narcissus), adding “real flower” depth to accords that may smell too clean, flat, or overly polished. It enhances powdery–floral–slightly leathery nuances, bringing a sense of luxury and vintage elegance, ideal for chypre, floral-oriental, and boudoir-inspired creations.

With its notable strength and strong character, this material is best used at low dosages, as a “seasoning” to sculpt structure, increase realism, and introduce a subtle but memorable tension to the floral heart. Even a small amount can support and anchor floral notes, making the overall accord warmer, deeper, and longer lasting on skin, while imparting a distinctive, sensual and sophisticated signature to the formula.
